   When John O'Callaghan died Michael O'Mahony the present owner purchased the farm. O'Callaghan never tilled over the levelled fort.

   II In McCarthy's farm Fort Grady, Banteer, there is another Fort. A strange animal called a "Pooka" used come out of this fort in the evenings to graze. Those who tried to enter this fort always failed because the passage into it seemed to close as the explorers proceeded.

   III In Dan Flynn's farm at Dromcummer, Banteer, there are two forts. These are enclosed by bushes and firewood as Dan Flynn was always afraid to cut around them. The farm is now the property of Joseph Aherne.
